20 Athletes Who are Extremely Creepy

Bruce Kluckhohn-USA TODAY Sports

Some athletes today are just flat-out creepy. There is no way around it, some guys just give fans the creeps and there's no rhyme or reason as to why it happens. Some guys just give off a vide of uber-creepiness while others just have that look on their face that just comes off as creepy.

I know it's kind of harsh to say about some people's personality and appearance, but everyone knows that there are those extremely creepy athletes that just give you nightmares when you think about them. If you closed your eyes, woke up in a dark alley and saw one of the guys on this list, you would likely be screaming and running for your life in moments.

A few factors can contribute to creepiness, such as the stare that an athlete gives to players, media and coaches or just the overall look in the athlete's eyes. You can mostly tell if an athlete can be considered creepy by the look in his or her eyes.

Some athletes' overall look is just too much for some fans to handle. Guys like Chris Andersen can be considered creepy because he looks like he could beat you up and then go join a biker gang with his endless amounts of tattoos and piercings to go along with his mohawk.

While Andersen is clearly a creepy athlete when it comes to appearance, some other players, like Metta World Peace, are creepy because of the look they have in their eye -- like I said earlier. If you can look into an athlete's eyes and not feel safe, then the athlete can be classified under definitely creepy.

Let's take a look at the list of the creepiest athletes in sports today. Some guys are on here for looks, others for personality. Let me know which creeps I've missed.

20. Dennis Rodman

Okay, so Rodman isn't still an athlete, but he definitely deserves a mention on this list. Any guy who has went out in public in a wedding dress for no reason is a bit creepy. If anyone went out for no reason in a wedding dress it'd be considered creepy. This is just a drop in the bucket of his creepiness.

19. Max Scherzer

Don't get me wrong, I love Max Scherzer. He's a great pitcher and an all-around good guy in the game of baseball today. However, his eyes just give off a weird vibe and they make it hard to look him in the eyes. It's pretty creepy.

16. Brittney Griner

I know what you are thinking, why is Brittney Griner creepy? If you're not thinking it, then you know exactly why she is. She is big, tall and strong and could beat up any guy that got in her way. This hit she put on an opposing player gives me the chills to this day. Ah, make it stop.

12. Anderson Varejao

11. Gilbert Arenas

Gilbert Arenas is that quiet kid in school that sits in a corner and says nothing to anyone and then one day threatens lives. Yeah, that's kind of what it looked like when Arenas brought a gun into the locker room when he was a member of the Washington Wizards. His career was all downhill from there.

10. Sammy Sosa

9. Aldon Smith

If you've never seen a mugshot of Aldon Smith, you should check it out. Besides carrying a gun and snatching up a DUI, Smith is known for getting in trouble with the law. And like I said, that mug shot is the definition of creepy.

2. Chael Sonnen

1. Chris Andersen

The tattoos, the mohawk and the piercings. This guy is the creepiest of all athlete creeps today. How could you not be scared if you saw him in a dark alley? He grew out a beard that just tops it all off. Yikes.

Some athletes are born with not only the talent to play their chosen sport, but also the ability to tell a good joke or launch an insult that you can't help but laugh at. Here are 15 of the funniest. Read More
